I have one of these for a ceiling mounted projector. Works, except I have to power-cycle it often. Anyone know if interference causes this? Pls Help!!

hi, in my experience with this model, anything that crosses in between the units creates an interference! try an hdmi extender from your source so that the sender is also above anything that might cross in between them, also the most common interferences with this units are wireless routers, high band phones and microwave sources. aputure will launch a wireless unit good for 100 meters with zero delay and full hd this summer for less than 500 usd, wait for it and stop suffering.

This is a strange answer but might direct you to a solution. Ours delivers a signal to 4 ceiling projectors mounted in a aircraft hangar. It works flawless unless we turn on the Avionics in an aircraft for display purposes. At that point the interference from one of the aircraft's receivers/transmitters results in intermitant loss of signal at the screens. Try looking for some other electrical device that transmits, turn it off and try the projectors. might fix it, did with us.

There are 3 reasons why this is happening. 1) The transformer you have is defective. Have you tried other (low wattage) appliances to see if this happens? If it does not happen with others, then its not likely the transformer. 2) If its not defective, then simply your projector is overdrawing power from the transformer. 3) Are all plugs/wires securely tight? Lose connections can cause current issues which cause heat, because power is crossing at a low surface area (lose connection=low surface area contact). 1-3 above will answer your question/issue. In my opinion... Projectors consist of various components. I think the typical power consumption is 245W, but with fans, speakers, bulb(s), other plug-ins (that draw power), computer chips/processors, anything else that generates heat, the projector's demand for power varies and spikes frequently. This will cause heavy/straining loads and frequent shifts in current demands, which transformers do not like for extended periods of time. I'm sure with a projector you are using it to watching TV and Movies, which tells me the transformer is on for extended periods of time.

sometimes if we put the wrong DC to the IR controller that will have an effect on the output. second, like a lot of other electronics, modems especially. unplug the IR controller so the lights have no power and take out the battery of the hand held R. controller give a minute or so and re connect. sometime a lower voltage or amp power supply can fix this as well. I hope this helped. Frank

Watch video on you tube about operation and ask him. He's a retailer. Seems very knowledgeable about it. Also I know if you have to many settings turned on it can interfere in quality and operation. I think keeping it simple works best. Check out you tube video!!!!

Make sure you're firewall is either off or port exceptions are added. Interference between the computer and projector should be minimized (fluorescent lights should be off)because of the distance your signal could be attenuating. Consider moving tHe computer or router closer. Lastly... since your projector is communicating to your comp via dongle it should have an IP address. Make sure it's static or dhcp will change it intermittently.

Well, you are lucky. Mine flicker on and off, or alternate on and off. I haven't found a solution on Google. Since the lights are fed through the same line yet behave independently, I assume it's not a line or power source issue. I'm guessing the LED light modules are simply defective. I'm going to disconnect them. Coming on and off is simply annoying! I didn't buy it for the lights, but it's annoying that they haven't addressed the problem or recalled it.

This exact same thing happened to me, and using them with my computer they do power down after a short while with no sound activity. There is then a delay once a signal is sent. Can you please tell me what ever came of this or what Amazon said when you contacted them?

Thanks for your advice. I will try to see if I can fix it by powerstrip.I will let your guys know my result.

Have you tried a different via cable if that is how you are connected? Move the existing cable around, does the color improve/change? Check the pins in the ends of the cable, are any of them bent? If you connect other video sources such as a vcr or DVD player is this also green? Working with projectors for 10 years has taught me If all inputs result in a green or yellow screen you have a failing light engine, if it's just one component you most likely have a bad cable.

When I first set up my projector I used an inferior 35' HDMI cable and I had this problem with some components in my system. For instance, the DVD player would sync fine but the bluray would not, or if and when it did work it had a lot of speckles. If I used a shorter cable it would work fine. I upgraded my cable run with a higher quality cable and now it syncs every time. However, I do notice when switching components through the HDMI switcher in my receiver that some still take longer than others for the projector to connect and sync. So, I suspect it has more to do with the individual component's HDMI output power than any fault with the projector.

I haven't had any problems with this model; I have 6 of them connected in parallel in a very large area. It works fine, provides lots of light, is really nice and is dimmable. Perhaps the only "problem" is that after a certain low dimmer threshold point some of them would go off and sometimes on. Maybe this is the mentioned strobe effect .....?

Yes, I had trouble. Bought one to use on a feature, converting the SDI signal from our BMCC 2.5K to HDMI for video village. It worked for just a few days, but then wouldn't convert the signal anymore. I remember wiggling wires, and randomly the signal would come through, but from that day forward it never worked again. I was disappointed it only lasted a few days before "breaking" or whatever happened. I returned it for a refund after I returned home from the shoot.

If you are able to run the projector with VGA then your projector is set up to receive VGA. My laptop outputs VGA but my TV receives HDMI, not VGA. This is a converter. It only changes the signal from VGA to HDMI. I don't think it amplifies the signal. I am not an expert, but I suspect the more times you convert a signal something may be lost. If your projector receives VGA as well as HDMI, I can see no reason why you would get an improvement by converting the signal. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" would seem to apply here.

Yes that is common with hid kits in non projector housings. Doesn't effect output though

That doesn't sound right. You may have gotten a bad unit but if you can swap out the power supply and see if that helps. I have two of these that have been running almost continuously 24/7 for 2 years with 0 problems. I am using the model GS608. Unless the unit is getting overly hot or the power feeding it is bad it shouldn't be doing what you describe. I am using them to condense several 10/1100 IP camera frame data into 1 GB line going to a router. So they are working pretty hard.

I am curious about this too. I dont want to have it on all the time (and run up electricity cost - it takes 165Watts) and only want it on when watching movies. Would be nice if it can do hdmi passthru.

Try powering it up directly from the projector, my projetor doesn't respond to power on from the remote control for some reason.
